I decided to start EFFECT FROM series on this channel. Basically I'll be showing you how to make awesome effects from popular movies and music videos! New tutorial each week!

(Note: This is an older video, so some parts may be outdated in the latest release: stapling has been replaced with auto-attaching, triggers have their own panel now, lip sync has a single editing track in the timeline, and more. See https://youtu.be/1u344s52API for a more recent getting started tutorial.)
Adobe Character Animator is a performance capture animation tool that is part of After Effects CC. It takes Photoshop and Illustrator files, and allows you to control them in realtime using your face and voice through a webcam. This in-depth tutorial shows a complete end-to-end workflow, from drawing the character all the way to a final export. You will need Character Animator Preview 4 or later to access the features shown here.

--- INFO ---
Learn how to create some interesting trail effects with Particular.
In this tutorial i go over how you can set up a Light inside After Effects and have it orbit around an object ( in this case our text ). Then we can use this light as an emitter for our particles.
The next step will be to set up our particles in an interesting way and see how we can colour them to look like a trail of magic dust.

Don't strain yourself, animate arms and legs with shape layers easily. It just takes a few keyframes and proper sorting. In this after effects tutorial, we animate the arms and legs of a simple character. And it actually looks good. Unlike myself. Who looks really out of shape.
If you have any questions just let me know in the comments.
